My Mom makes the best coffee cakes.

Ever.

The rhubarb one is probably her best.

With my parents visiting – naturally we enjoyed time baking together.

As soon as we baked it – I knew I wanted to share it here with all of you.

It’s so easy to make that you can pull this off when surprised by unexpected guests or simply when you want to enjoy something sweet on a lazy afternoon.

We are talking easy – peasy, delicious and satisfying!

This recipe uses cranberries but feel free to choose any fruit you have on hand.

    I love family recipes that bring a bit of nostalgia to the table. This looks absolutely delightful…and cranberries are always a nice tart counterpart to sweet desserts. So glad you've had a wonderful time with your family visiting!

    Anna,
    Mom recipes are the best, and the fact that you got to make it with your Mom is even better. I live the streusel topping.

    Thank you for stopping by my blog, and now you are my newest follower.

    Hi CCS, sorry for my ignorence, why this coffee cake didn't have coffee powder in it?I mean, when I studied the recipe, I didn't see coffee was used as one of the ingredients. I read once, then twice, then 3 times. I may want to try this recipe in the future, that's why I studied it very carefully!

    haha aw I love the name of this coffee cake, adorable! Sounds like a fun a visit! And I don't think I have a favorite fruit coffee cake? haha i think i'd pretty much take any kind! I've never had cranberry coffee cake so maybe this could be it 🙂 I've got a bag of frozen cranberries in my freezer (they've been sitting there since the holidays.. oops) and need to use them up! Gorgeous recipe Anna!

    When it comes to fruit in cakes, I much prefer the little berries! They have a way of distributing themselves throughout the batter more so than chopped fruit. Also, the tartness of cranberries combined with that fluffy cake does make for one tasty bite. Well done!
